Use a <foreach /> line if you are dealing with a file. You can specify an
arbitrary number of matches on a line by the delim string; I do believe. You
can also nest the <foreach> if that doesn't work. If you are good with
regular expressions[1] you could split up the line that way. There are
really endless suggestions. You can also write a custom <script> to do it.
<foreach item="Line" in="touples.csv" delim="," property="x,y,z">
<echo message="Read touple ${x}.${y}=${z}" />
</foreach>
